Living at the Edge of the World
A homeless girl's riveting true account of four years in the tunnels of Grand Central Station. Tina becomes addicted to crack, is brutalized, and serves several jail terms for assault and robbery. After the suicide of her beloved friend, April, Tina fights her way back to the world of the living.

Winnie: My Life in the Institution
Winnie's short written account of her life, supplemented by the transcripts of hundreds of hours of taped interviews, affords a rare, touching, and amazingly funny view into institutional life.

After nearly twenty years out of print, a new and revised edition of "Winnie: My Life in the Institution" will be published in Summer/Fall 2007.
